Stroll’s Aston💞 Martin and Latifi’s Williams clashed during Q1, f♚orcing both out of the session and meaning they will begin Sunday’s race on the back row.

Stroll was accused of a “lack ofꦡ situational awareness” and was “predominantly to blame”, the stewards ruled after reviewing a video replay.

𒁃But that didn’t stop the drivers𝄹 engaging in a blame game.

"I let him through because he was pushing to open the lap, so I was told, and then I saw he'd abort💖ed the lap, so I wanted to carry on with my own preparation lap, so I went back by him," Latifi explained to Sky Sports F1.

"There was a big gap and once I kin༺d of got past him, for whatever reason, he does that at the turn.

"It's clear for me on the video, [so] ther𒁃e's not much more to say."

Stroll hit back: "ꦏWe were on a cool lap. I saw the video; he went to try and pass m💫e all of a sudden in a very awkward part of the circuit.

"The circuit falls off to the right and then to the left, where that is. I think what happene♊d was just very awkward at an awkward part of the track.

"He was all of a suddeܫn trying to cut by me and it gets narrower as the circuit falls to the right, and then we make contact. It's pretty ridiculous."
